Pretoria – Nomaxabiso Majokweni has been named the new Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) chief executive officer.<\/p>\n
“She was appointed today following a special council meeting,” BUSA spokesperson Lesego Lehihi said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Majokweni, 42, has held senior positions in both the private and public sectors over the past 20 years.<\/p>\n
She holds a B.Com (Hons) in Economics and was recruited by the Department of Trade and Industry (dti) in 1996 to become part of the first corps of post-liberation economic representatives. This group was sent abroad to position and market South Africa as a viable and competitive investment location and a source of high quality value added exports.<\/p>\n
She has also worked in Hong Kong as South African Commercial Attach\u00e9, also responsible for Southern China. In 2000, she was promoted to a Regional Director responsible for United States, Canada and Mexico based in Washington DC.<\/p>\n
She returned to South Africa in 2001 where she was appointed chief operating officer at Blue IQ, the special purpose economic development agency. She held this position until 2003.<\/p>\n
She was then appointed CEO of Sandton Convention Centre, a privately owned international convention centre. She has undergone executive education training at the University of Stellenbosch Business School, and IMD in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Majokweni will take over the post at BUSA from her current position at her own consultancy L’Avant Group on 1 September following the resignation of Jerry Vilakazi in May.<\/p>\n
Deputy CEO of BUSA, Raymond Parsons, has been acting CEO as of 1 June 2011. – BuaNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
